At this moment, his sweat had already soaked his clothes. If not for his increased strength, Logan suspected he would have been dragged into the sea. This world was nothing like the one they were used to. The sea called the Arcane Ice Sea was pitch-dark beyond five meters. Although it was said the water wouldn't harm them physically, Logan only had one life and wasn't about to risk it.
After resting for a while, Logan looked at the contents of the net that he had dragged onto the island. Inside were more than a dozen fish he had never seen before—each one sporting rows of fangs. The smallest weighed at least a dozen pounds, while the largest was over a hundred. In addition, there was a wooden box, square and airtight.
This sight caused Logan's eyes to widen as a name and description appeared in front of him:
[Race: Fangtooth Fish]
[Alias: Sea Water Purifier]
[Features: Strength, manic temperament, but does not eat living creatures.
Note: The most common fish in the Arcane Ice Sea, with piranha-like tusks. It can grow up to 3,000 pounds and is evolved from demonic energy, devouring demonic qi. If you don't have a B-grade physique, you won't be able to enjoy this kind of worldly delicacy.]
Seeing this, Logan couldn't help feeling disappointed. Although he couldn't eat them, he could still harvest their teeth. Possibly due to being out of the water for too long, these Fangtooth Fish lay unmoving in the net, as if dead.
However, Logan refused to be careless. The day was still young, the sun was high, and the main annoyance was the heat—he had plenty of time. Sure enough, after half an hour, these fish suddenly jumped in unison, as if they had planned it.
If this had been a normal net, it would have been shredded long ago. But this semi-automatic net, made from who-knew-what, didn't even tear. The fish could neither bite through it nor escape, and they soon died without inflicting any damage on the mesh.
Logan waited until the fish were dead before going near them. When he got within about a meter, a blue screen appeared:
[Is the dead Fangtooth Fish decomposing?]
Logan was stunned. He hadn't expected it to resemble a game this closely. No wonder someone had said it was a game but not a game. Without hesitation, Logan tapped the decomposing option.
[Fangtooth Fish Meat: 213 (500g per serving), Fangs: 156 Pieces, Green Shell: 1]
[Green Shell, Level 3, similar to Chests, found only at the bottom of the sea or rarely in the bodies of slain sea creatures.]
[To open the Green Shell, you need Azure Essence Beads. Please collect Azure Essence Beads.]
Logan went silent for a moment, then walked directly to the wooden treasure chest. The same "system boost" reappeared, requiring no materials to open it.
[Gain Thatched House Blueprint: 1, Ivy Seed: 4, Thatch: 129, Lady's Lingerie: 1, RC Toy Airplane: 1, RC: 1]
The corners of Logan's mouth twitched as he looked helplessly at the lingerie set. Even though his hospital gown was soaked and he had no clothes to change into, he had no desire to wear bright pink women's underwear. As for the remote-control toy airplane, he wasn't a child, and in this environment where resources were scarce, nobody would likely trade for it.
Logan moved these items to the stone pillar. He still had two more chances to fish today. Working straight from noon to seven in the evening, he reeled in two more treasure chests—both wooden. Logan decided not to open them yet, as he had nowhere to store the contents, and his backpack couldn't hold so many things.
These two catches yielded a total of-
[500ml of purified water*2, floating stone*1, watermelon seeds*5, an 80g frozen meat bun*1, a blanket*1, refined iron*3, 10 rolls of toilet paper*2, and a footwrap that an old lady hadn't washed for 10 years*1].
